These zodiac signs can’t take a joke

Everyone wants to have a fantastic sense of humor; after all, who wouldn’t want to be responsible for having the room wheezing and slapping at their knees? Unfortunately, while sharp wit and clever repartee come naturally to some signs, others are far too serious to lighten up, especially when they’re the butt of the joke. It’s healthy to enjoy a good laugh every now and then and be a good sport, but that’s asking a little too much from these signs:

Taurus

As an earth sign, you naturally gravitate towards comfort and coziness. You’re perfectly satisfied being left alone, minding your business—that is, until a joke draws the eyes of the entire room onto you! You’re stubborn enough to refuse to get the jokes sometimes, which means it’s not fun to get into banter with you.

Cancer

Cancers are sensitive—in fact, some people even say that you’re the crybabies of the zodiac! Your mood can change in the blink of an eye, which means you won’t make for very good joke material since you’ll probably stomp out of the room. Your nurturing nature also makes you a bit more serious than others, according to Amanda Chatel forYourTango—if you want people to relax around you, you should probably relax a bit more, too!

Scorpio

Scorpios are famously private and mysterious, and when someone tries to get a reaction out of you, you refuse to give them that satisfaction—which is also why you can’t quite take a joke, says YourTango. Since you don’t respond to attempts at humor, the quips fall flat, and an awkward silence ensues. That’s more than enough to fizzle the vibe any time you walk into a room, so you’ll want to keep that in mind if you don’t want to be a buzzkill.

Capricorn

Hardworking and ambitious, you’re sometimes too focused on your endless to-do list that the jokes fly right over your head, Capricorn. You’re also known to be a little stiff, so puns and jests tend to bounce off you. Don’t worry—you won’t get sidelined from your goals if you learn to laugh at yourself from time to time!
